Compact Magazine Ban: Editor Jürgen Elsässer Accuses Nancy Faeser of "Dictatorial Measures"
The Federal Ministry of the Interior has banned the far-right magazine Compact. Editor-in-chief Jürgen Elsässer comments on the ban, which was accompanied by raids and seizures. Elsässer criticizes the measure as fascist, although Compact has never been criminally convicted. According to Elsässer, the ban was not due to criminal reasons but because the media project became a threat to those in power. Despite this measure, the magazine will take legal action. The ban also affects planned events with far-right personalities. The AfD has also commented on press freedom.
